...allow you to span multiple floppies? i.e., I have my nvidia drivers. I wish to copy to another system, but the file is to big. Any ideas?

WinAce is a very good programm for that. Find it at download.com. It has an optin to make archives 1.44, 2.88 or autodetermine space on your floppies. Works GREAT! I even use it instead of winzip.

Winzip allows you to span multiple floppy's
winzip (http://www.winzip.com)

WinAce is the best archiver compressor I've found sofar. More advanced than the inflate/deflate algorith that .ZIPs use.
WinRAR is another good program, but WinAce bests it too.

Winace is better because it supports more formats and more options. Plus you rarely get the annoying shareware warning.

At the end of the day theres little to choose between them, I've found winrar has the best compression rate but any will do, I only suggested winzip because it was the first that came to mind, I don't think the differance in compression ratios will make any differance to the number of disks you use though.

Im a fan of PowerArchiver it does the same thing as WinACE, WinRAR, etc

Also I would remind parkan that URL's are not allowed in forum users signatures without prior concent of Skip or Joe

This is why I love this place. You ppl use the KIS approach. Here I am looking for some hard to use / hard to find proggy to do this, and you guys remind me it's the simpkle things that work best :)
